Addressing a “Town Hall of Women” to raise awareness about the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’, more commonly known as the Women’s Reservation Act, he said Goa is looking forward to the implementation of 33% reservation for women in legislative bodies. The Budget session of Parliament has been extended, and a special three-day sitting of the House has been convened from April 16 to 18, during which amendments to the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ will be brought for its implementation in 2029.
